Sometimes hair & make up are
Essential
Each is a piece that crafts your full potential

You can buy a new outfit
Or get a pedicure
Undergo procedures designed to
Reassure

It’s common to
Nip & tuck & tweak a little bit
Nix some of your hips & suck in
Each hump you fiddle with
Round the middle with

But it’s far better to
Ease your troubled mind
And build self-esteem
Under the butt you leave behind
Think of all
You can dream up…

…To beam up & shine
Remember the theme up
Is to first think of you as divine
